High Performer on G2, Fall 2026Why SaaS teams switch
impact.com is the biggest name in partnerships, with a marketplace of 250,000+ publishers and the tracking big retailers rely on. For a SaaS team, its own pricing page and docs show what that costs.
Contract
Every paid plan needs a 12-month contract, and any change of plan takes a new 12-month addendum. Subscriptions renew on their own, and brands on G2 and Trustpilot report being held to the full year when it wasn’t working.
With Tolt
Monthly plans you can change or cancel any time, or yearly with two months free. Start with a 14-day trial, no credit card.
See pricingGetting started
Its self-serve Starter plan runs only on nine ecommerce platforms, from Shopify to Zoho Commerce. A SaaS on Stripe starts on Essentials, $500 a month, booked through a demo, and a white-labeled portal waits for Enterprise.

Start free trialSetup
Setup and onboarding cost $250 an hour on every paid plan. Its migration guide brings in an implementation engineer and your developer, runs the old platform alongside for 2–4 weeks and plans 6–8 weeks of communications. G2 puts implementation at two months on average.

See how setup worksFees
Essentials includes $2,500 of partner payouts a month and charges 20% of everything above it. Pro and Enterprise include more, then add a growth fee above their allowance.
With Tolt
Auto payouts cost 2% of what’s paid, on every plan. Plans are priced by the revenue your affiliates bring in, with no payout allowance to outgrow.
Compare the two billsSubscriptions
Its Stripe guide has you install its tag on every page and write a click ID into each subscription’s metadata. It supports two billing reasons, a new subscription and its renewal cycle; upgrades and proration aren’t mentioned, and no Paddle integration is documented.
Marcus Reid’s commissionEvery change, on its own$149.70With Tolt
Tolt syncs Stripe both ways: trials, upgrades with proration, renewals and refunds each move the commission on their own. Paddle Billing, Paddle Classic and Chargebee connect the same way.
IntegrationsFraud
Advanced fraud and risk scoring comes with Enterprise only, at $10,000 a month, and its FAQ sells paid-search and promo-code monitoring as add-ons.
With Tolt
Tolt Radar checks every referral for self-referrals, duplicate IPs, paid ads and coupon-site keywords, and screens new affiliates against the 200,000+ on Tolt.
How Tolt Radar worksPayments
You pre-fund your account and its fees come out first. Commissions lock 27 days after the month ends by default on Essentials, invoicing takes 2–3 weeks more, and affiliates pay 2% to withdraw to PayPal. On Trustpilot it scores 1.2 from 182 reviews, most from partners waiting on payments.
With Tolt
You approve one invoice on your terms (NET-15, 30 or 60), and Tolt pays every affiliate by PayPal, Wise, bank transfer or wire, in 190+ countries.
How auto payouts workRecurring revenue
impact.com sizes its plans by ecommerce revenue, and its Stripe guide counts a new subscription and its renewals. Tolt follows the whole subscription, from the trial to the upgrade’s proration and the refund, and moves each commission on its own.
